For PTACs on the ground floor or anytime obstructions are present, use the following guidelines:

For minor obstructions such as lamp poles or small shrubbery a clearance of 12" from the outdoor louver should be maintained.

For major obstructions such as a solid fence, wall or other heat rejecting device like a condensing unit, a minimum distance of 36" should be kept.
